Our true-to-style Bière de Garde Brun is a strong, malt forward ale that bring you back to beer cellars of older times. Your brew will pour a copper color with an off-white head that releases a bouquet of slight floral and slight spicy alcoholic aromas. Rich malts provide flavors of toffee, raisins, and slight prune while the Belgian and farmhouse yeast blend contributes additional fruitiness and a slight musty funk that is characteristic of this style of beer. Historically brewed in Northern France during the early spring, this beer style has a long history that will fit in well at your home as you make new history sharing this brew with friends and family!

Note: This brew blends Belgian Yeast with American farmhouse yeast. As always you can choose your yeast options however we strongly recommend a liquid Belgian Yeast and the American Farmhouse for best results.

To Brun, or not to Brun?

Biere De Gardes have different colors associated with the style that are influenced by the malts added sugars added. Typically lighter versions have more hop characteristics. To transform this version remove the specialty grains, swap the Candi Syrup with the Simplicity L-1, and add an extra ounce or two of hops at flame out.

Perfect with Polish Food!

Biere De Gardes pair very well with soft, ripe cheese allowing the maltiness to play off the distinct cheese flavors. Because of the slight funk we love pairing it with dessert as well, try this Biere De Garde Brun with a slice of your favorite Pecan Pie for a real treat!
